☀️ In the face of an unprecedented July heatwave, the California ISO rose to the challenge, ensuring Californians stayed cool and safe. 🧊   🌡️ With temperatures hitting triple digits and energy demand peaking at 43,969 MW, California's innovative clean energy resources and extensive battery storage systems were pivotal in keeping the power on. 💡   Through meticulous planning, enhanced coordination, and seamless communication with state agencies, we managed to prevent any power disruptions. This effort not only underscores our commitment to a reliable and sustainable energy future but also highlights our dedication to the well-being of over 30 million Californians. 👏   #GridReliability #CleanEnergy #DemandResponse California ISO Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom California Public Utilities Commission California Department of Water Resources

⚡ Last week I had the privilege to attend two community events focused on educating local communities on clean energy and mobility: I joined California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) Director Tara Lynn Gray in Fresno at the first-ever Clean Mobility Summit that was hosted by the Fresno Metro Black Chamber of Commerce. The event brought together businesses, non-profits, and funding agencies to engage with the community and share information on the transition to zero-emission transportation. FMBCC, the Clean Share Mobility Network, and Biz-Werx also launched a ride-share program that offers 30 EVs and 200 e-bikes for public use. I enjoyed talking with Bob Thomason from OK Produce about their commitment to ZE transportation driven by sustainability. 🌱 I also attended Southern California Edison (SCE)’s Customer EmPOWERment day at the CENTER OF HOPE in Inglewood. Attendees were able to engage with SCE and the VILLAGE SOLUTIONS FOUNDATION to get information on clean energy programs and other ways to help reduce their carbon footprint while also saving money. 🤝 I appreciate SCE’s leadership in working with different community and faith-based organizations to support an inclusive transition to a clean energy/transportation future for all. Thank you to Pastor Frank Jackson Jr and Anita Jackson at Village Solutions Foundation and Pastor Geremy Dixon for having me!
